    'York and Lancaster' syn. R.damascena 'Versicolor , is a summer flowering damascena rose and has unusual flowers. They have an unstable color. On the same branch flowers can be very light pink, almost white, while others are dark pink and sometimes also bicoloured. Their fragrance is a light damask scent. The shrub grows strongly upright with light green leaves, downy underneath. The rose got its name at the end of the War of the Roses where a long battle between the House of York of the House of Lancaster for kingship in England was settled by the House of Lancaster, Henry Tudor, in 1485. This happened through a marriage of Henry Tudor to Elisabeth of York, who united the 2 houses. A new blazon came with the rose 'York and Lancaster' which united the colors of both houses white and red.
    Currently more of a collector's item than a plant with great garden value. Needs rich soil to flower well.
